    Summary

    A cool distance turns into friendship and more when two children see that they can find refuge and understanding in each other. However, naïve dreams collide with the reality in which every event has consequences and what once could have been love becomes a dark, newly painful obsession. This story is an alternate version of my oneshot "Stay and love, leave and die" showing what would happen if Aemond received letters from his niece.

    After a one night stand with a mysterious blonde stranger from the speakeasy she performed at, Lucy Gray is a determined marketer from Lexington trying to start anew in Paris.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    don't usually like modern AUs but sweet jesus, I love this

    the dialogue feels natural and it's very easy reading and manages to capture the essence of the characters outside of the violent circumstances while exploring them in a more lighthearted way

    Summary

    In which Coriolanus Snow is handsomely rewarded for his tribute winning the Games and in turn handsomely rewards his prize, Lucy Gray, herself.


    He's gone solemn now in the afterglow, serious. He cares for his own, Snow, she sees that with his family, and now she is one of them. Not his family, but something he owns. His prize, his ward, his girl.

    Is she to be his mistress then? she thinks hazily as she slips towards sleep. Is that the future for her? To escape from the viper's den into the viper's mansion?

    She shivers and he drags her closer, one large hand tucked around her hip.

    Well, she can't escape now even if she wants to, she thinks, sinking into the softness of the plush mattress, burrowing back into the heat and warmth of her jailor.
